According to Liverpool World, the former Tottenham manager stated live on Sky Sports Soccer Special on September 26 that teams like the Toffees and Nottingham Forest will likely be able to avoid relegation danger because the division’s newest teams lack enough “quality” even after changing managers.
The promoted trio of Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United currently make up the bottom three with just one point each following Everton’s 3-1 victory at Brentford last weekend.
If you’re an Everton fan this year, Sherwood added, it’s a free pass from punishment.
Nobody seems to doubt Nottingham Forest’s ability to remain in the top flight, in my opinion. You may change the manager all you want, but the teams down there are now having trouble, therefore the quality of the players is more important.
Even though Sherwood might be correct, there is still a long way to go and a lot can happen before the season is over, so Everton can hardly let their guard down.
